An actress blacklisted for twelve years after refusing to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee, a stand that cost her steady film work through much of the 1950s and 60s and forced her into pseudonymous television roles. She rebuilt her career on her own terms, winning an Emmy for Peyton Place, an Academy Award for Shampoo (1975), and later a Directors Guild of America Award after moving behind the camera to direct documentaries and television films.
